Thursday Night Open Thread

The Yankees have an off-day today, their last of the regular season. They play their final 17 games in 17 days starting tomorrow. In the meantime, make sure you check out this Billy Witz article on designated pinch-runner Rico Noel. Noel discussed his family life and upbringing through baseball, from his days in college to his time with the Padres. He asked San Diego for his release earlier this year, and when the Yankees called, it was Noel who broached the idea of being used as a pinch-runner in September. Pretty great read. Check it out.

Here is tonight’s open thread. Pretty light baseball schedule tonight, only seven games, and MLB Network will show one of them later. Also, the Broncos and Chiefs are this week’s Thursday NFL Game. Talk about of those games or anything else right here. Enjoy the final off-night of the season.
